Avigayil Gimpel made aliyah two days after getting married, and she hasn’t looked back since. Since then she has become part of the beating heart of Eretz Yisrael where she work with kids who have been diagnosed with ADHD. Her philioshopy is that there is too high of a prevalence of ADHD diagnoses and medication is not always the correct answer. In her line of work, she helps parents seek out the authentic root cause that is causing such distress in their child instead of just letting medicine do all of the work. When the war broke out last October, Avigayil did not stop working with her clients, but stepped up to do her part for Am Israel! She drove her son and son-in-law out to battle right away while bringing a gun alongside her in case she ran into any danger. Then, in tangent with her work with the cherva kadisha, she helped to properly bury bodies and give those bodies the final respect that they deserved, dying L’Shem Shamayim. Tune in to hear her inspiring journey and how her story could be your story.

Meet my very good friend, Miriam Sandler! From Florida to New Jersey and soon back to Florida. Miriam is what she calls a “Jewban”. Her singing career started at age 18 and has continued ever since. The only difference is her audience. Miriam is a true performer and loves that moment of connection she gets with her audience. Her yearning for true depth is what pushed her away from the entertainment world and into a world dedicated to Judaism. When she writes her music she says it is a form of prophecy, like a divine energy. For Miriam “success is a state of mind” Not only is Miriam all about music; she and a friend recently launched a head covering business called “Forever Crowned”- based on the idea that we are all Queens!
